16. To speak the truth, even with some austerity, to live with some rigor of temperance, or some extremes of generosity, seems to be an asceticism which common good-nature would appoint to those who are at ease and in plenty, in sign that they feel a brotherhood with the great multitude of suffering men. And not only need we breathe and exercise the soul by assuming the penalties of abstinence, of debt, of solitude, of unpopularity, but it behooves the wise man to look with a bold eye into those rarer dangers which sometimes invade men, and to familiarize himself with disgusting forms of disease, with sounds of execration, and the vision of violent death.

白话

说实话,甚至带着一些严厉,生活带着一些严格的节制,或一些极端的慷慨,似乎是普通善良天性指定给那些安逸富足之人的苦行,表明他们感受到与广大受苦者的兄弟情谊。我们不仅需要承担禁欲、债务、孤独、不受欢迎的惩罚来呼吸和锻炼灵魂,而且智者应当大胆地审视那些有时侵袭人们的更罕见的危险,使自己熟悉令人厌恶的疾病形态、诅咒的声音和暴力死亡的景象。

上下文

爱默生《随笔集》论英雄主义,主张安逸者应主动体验节制与苦难,以培养同情和勇气。
